This isn't an error. It's an informational message only shown in pedantic mode. From lintian(1): “Pedantic tags are Lintian at its most pickiest and include checks for particular Debian packaging styles and checks that many people disagree with. Expect false positives and Lintian tags that you don't consider useful if you use this option.” In other words, if you think the tag is useful then fix it, otherwise ignore it. -- James GPG Key: 1024D/61326D40 2003-09-02 James Vega <james...@debian.org>
